APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In certain circumstances a primary server with one or more defined RSS servers may delete those definitions when the server is moved to online mode from quiescent. This issue only occurs when the primary server was started in recovery mode, such as when it was created through a clone or restore operation or when started with the -PHY argument. An RSS server that was already connected at the time of the primary server's move to online mode will remain connected but the next connection attempt will fail. An error similar to the following will be seen in the primary server's message log: Unexpected RSS authentication failure for '<RSS server>' during the Initialization Phase. Ensure that: 1. You are using the correct server name. 2. If using passwords, that you are using the correct password. 3. The HA_ALIAS setting is correct. 4. You have run the 'onmode -d add RSS' command at the primary to register the RSS node attempting to connect. If the RSS server is redefined, for example using the onmode -d add RSS command, then it will be permitted to reconnect to the primary. Note that this issue will only occur when the primary is started in the manner described that places it in recovery mode, the server is moved to online mode then back to quiescent mode before again being moved to online mode. If the server is taken offline and then restarted to either quiescent or online modes then the issue will not occur.
Local fix
Shutdown and restart the primary server before moving it to quiescent mode
